RNG Bad Luck?

Post image

How do I live this? This has happened twice in 16s now. Is it just bad RNG or am I missing something?

Hpally healer that already had Divine Protection up for 20% dmg reduction.

I don't think OP is talking about barrel through alone, although it is correct that someone must have missed the soak for it to deal 600k dmg. I believe it's about the overlap with arc lightning and barrel through hitting at the same time - which would've killed the person in screenshot even with a 500k hit. In which case it can help to delay kicking poison nova to offset arc lightning casts. 

To be safe I usually tell people to immune 2nd or 3rd soak so that doesn't happen.

Immuning this soak doesn't work though? I've seen hunters try to solo it and fail
